- Continue.dev extension for VS Code or JetBrains — continue.dev
- Node.js 18+
- Agent MCP Studio at agentmcp.studio

Edit Continue's config.json
Open the Continue config file at
~/.continue/config.json(or click the gear icon in Continue's sidebar). Add an MCP server under themcpServerskey:{ "mcpServers": [ { "name": "agent-mcp-studio", "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/bridge.js", "wss://agentmcp.studio/api/relay/YOUR-UUID" ] } ] } Reload Continue
Continue auto-detects config changes. The MCP server will appear in Continue's context/tools list. Use @ in the chat to reference your tools or let Continue call them automatically in agent mode.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — Continue.dev supports MCP as a context provider. Add your MCP server to the mcpServers array in ~/.continue/config.json and Continue will call your tools during coding sessions in VS Code or JetBrains.
The global config is ~/.continue/config.json on macOS/Linux or %USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.json on Windows. You can also place a .continue/config.json in your project for project-scoped settings.
Yes — Continue works in VS Code and all major JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.). MCP server configuration via config.json applies to both IDE families.
Continue.dev supports any LLM — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Gemini, local models via Ollama, and many more. MCP tools work with any model that supports function/tool calling.
Verify: (1) mcpServers entry is in config.json, (2) Node.js is in PATH, (3) relay UUID is correct, (4) you clicked Connect in Agent MCP Studio, (5) Continue extension was reloaded after saving the config.
